CEO of Arena Americas, Paul Bryant commented: “Our organisation has worked very hard to strengthen its relationship with the PGA of America which began with the Flooring and Tenting Services Agreement back in the Spring of 2017. Since that time, we have helped design and deliver six PGA Championships and we are constantly looking for ways to continuously improve the overall experience for the PGA of America, its players, its sponsors, its patrons and spectators, as well as its supporting organisations. In the end, Arena Americas wants to play a more significant role in the delivery of iconic golf championships. We have developed a strong working partnership with the PGA of America and Arena Americas looks forward to enriching the experience for everyone associated with the game of golf.” The Arena Group has provided Seating and Bleacher products and services to many large-scale events around the world through its other two divisions and this new contract represents the company’s primary market entry point for seating and bleachers within the USA.
